FROM DR MURUGA RAJ RAJATHURAI, President, Malaysian Medical Association
IT IS more important to wash or sanitise hands than to wear face masks in preventing Covid-19 spreading in schools.
There is no need for a face mask mandate in schools. Only students with symptoms or a medical condition that may put them at high risk, should be wearing face masks. Aside from this, we wish to advise parents to encourage their children to keep themselves healthy by observing a healthy diet, exercising regularly and taking up sports activities as these simple steps will help them build a strong immune system – the body's natural defence against illnesses.
